It just /feels/ clunky.

The process is actually very simple: if nobody uses it, it gets stopped :) > It just /feels/ clunky. Are you talking about versions more recent than 57? Because the performance boost during the last year has been huge.

The situation has gotten better since browser extensions that save and restore all tabs reliably don't work with FF anymore. Now the browser usually forgets about 50% of my open tabs when I restart it...
